Examines what we know about the relationship between organic
chemicals and human disease
Organic chemicals are everywhere: in the air we breathe, the
water we drink, and the food we eat. They are also found in a
myriad of common household and personal care products.
Unfortunately, exposure to some organic chemicals can result in
adverse health effects, from growth and developmental disorders to
cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. This book examines how
organic chemicals affect human health. It looks at the different
diseases as well as how individual organ systems are affected by
organic chemicals.
Effects of Persistent and Bioactive Organic Pollutants on
Human Health begins with an introductory chapter explaining why
we should care about organic chemicals and their effect on human
health. Next, the authors address such important topics as:
* Burden of cancer from organic chemicals
* Organic chemicals and obesity
* Effects of organic chemicals on the male reproductive
system
* Organic chemicals and the immune system
* Intellectual developmental disability syndromes and organic
chemicals
* Mental illness and exposure to organic chemicals
The book ends with an assessment of how much human disease is
caused by organic chemicals. Chapters have been contributed by
leading international experts in public and environmental health
and are based on the latest research findings. Readers will find
that all of the contributions are clear and easy to comprehend,
with extensive references for further investigation of individual
topics.
Effects of Persistent and Bioactive Organic Pollutants on
Human Health is recommended for students and professionals in
medicine as well as public and environmental health, bringing them
fully up to date with what we know about the relationship between
organic chemicals and human health.
